Thanks all... I'll take this discussion to mean I should use *way* fewer words in future... to think, this started with my offering help by prefixing my answer with:
> I see no one has tried to help... :^) So... to shorten *my* unanswered issues: :^) 1. kppp has a memory leak (yes, graphing is off) 2. LM8.1 Software Installer is still "dead in water" 3a. sound gets clobbered when X/KDE die 3b. ES137[01] sound cards (others?) are problematic (see my web site) 4. [NEW+OT] LinkSys products are buggy (see my web site) Ooooopss... gotta keep it short...
